I finally got our insurance info from work. Everything is staying roughly the same as this year, but I'm gonna switch us to the HDHP to help relieve some of the strain on paying bills. Finally some good news for me.

your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
so much to do, so much to see
to bring us sugar and rum and tea
we'll take our leave and go
you'll never shine if you don't glow

it's okay and totally legitimate that you don't think you're terrifyingly gorgeous. i get it; dysphoria is a horrid thing, and I know what it's like to see that in every mirror.
you're completely wrong, of course. just factually incorrect, because you're astonishing and beautiful.
but i get it.

I have vastly miscalculated the size this square I'm crocheting would turn out to be. I'm about halfway through and it's already way too big for earrings. Maybe a keychain? 😂

Serious question: how is it even possible that I *know* the reason I am this exhausted is because I spend every minute of every day doing at least three things at once and there is just not enough of me to go around, and yet I feel like I'm a lazy POS who never actually does anything?

radical take here but i think that running out of money shouldnt put you in absolute misery actually.
Running out of money at worst should make you unable to buy luxuries. You cant buy a TV, gaming PC, whatever.
Running out of money should never make you homeless, starving, or unable to see

I was told to make a Christmas wishlist for B's first Christmas, so I did. I tried to stick to "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read."
Maybe help a broke mommy give her little NICU warrior a good first Christmas? It's been a really rough 6 months.

Yes!
And why taking SSRIs etc can cause increased bruising, etc.

TIL that blood platelets have serotonin receptors, which is why anemia can mimic depression symptoms and that is absolutely fucking fascinating.

Work is sending out emails to announce a toy drive, when they don't pay us enough for me to be sure I can even do Christmas for my own kid. 🙃

How do I have such a happy baby when I'm this miserable? And also, how am I this miserable when I have such a happy baby? It boggles the mind.

I've seen a few people (not here) saying they use ChatGPT to tell them what to make with whatever random food they have around. I feel like there used to be an app or a website that did that exact thing? It's been bugging me.

haha, a year. i am very sorry to report that somewhere in romancelandia, a white woman is probably writing this and is planning to self-publish something like this within weeks.
We're probably a year away from someone dropping what they'll describe as a "griping Romeo & Juliet story" about an ICE agent falling for a woman he tear-gassed while kidnapping her father.
It'll be written by a white woman from a law enforcement family, and she'll be *shocked* by the backlash.

They’re going to try, they’re going to find a very popular actor, and they’ll shoot it morosely, and they’ll tell you they’re really trying to “honor the story” of the people they targeted for kidnapping and detention amid this psychological study.

Posting this for myself to look at later when I need it. This is proof that my weirdness about food right now is not just me suddenly being a picky eater: Last night, we had chili. It's one of my favorite foods. I couldn't even eat half the bowl before I gave up and ate crackers.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.
